party. but michele bachmann just won't shut up! she embarrassed herself at cpac, remember by accusing president obama of living a life luxury in the white house when, in fact, he's spending less money every year than george bush did. she accused obamacare of literally killing people when, in fact, it is saving lives. she holds the record for the most number of liar, liar, pants on fire designations given by politifact making her the biggest liar in congress and that's saying something. and if that's not bad enough, michele bachmann is in legal trouble, under investigation by congressional ethics panel for intentional campaign finance violations which could earn her a big fine and censure by the house. think about it. this is a woman who won the iowa straw poll. at one time, she led the field of republican candidates for president. she is founder of the tea party caucus. but today, michele bachmann is nothing but a monumental

to figure out what to say and how to state, because whenever you are a public person you speak out about anything as you probably know, people attack you. >> stephanie: we'll share hate mail sometime. >> exactly. i have a great family a great career, and all of that stuff, to go back and revisit this was just like a great big ick. but i started talking about it and the first thing that happened was i tweeted roseanne barr who has been incredibly active on this front and said you know what i was raped in stubenville, i was born and raped there, and that's how i did her show, and it just snowballed. and i felt like as an artist how can i help get this out here.

and when you run out of words, music is an excellent way to spread the word so i wrote "stupidville," and we put it together and within two weeks recorded it. put this video together and it's up on youtube and my site traci lords.com, and it's not for sale but you are listen to it and share it for free and hopefully it will make people pay at attention. >> stephanie: i have to admit when chris said traci lords, you think the former porn star but you write so clearly about how this changed the trajectory of your life forever. you realize how even more horrible this is than when you first hear the story, right?

>> absolutely. and on that note i think that it has been really difficult watching people sympathize with these rapists, while i can understand that there's a sadness of any child any young person making a mistake so grand that they have ruined their life, but where the sympathy should be is with this poor girl. she is the one that was given the life sentence. and i feel that way as well. i have done so much in my career. i have won awards for acting i have a double platinum album, but people still remember that period. there is a stigma attached to that violence, they really put the victim on trial. >> stephanie: you talk about your birth name was nora and you were called nora horra after this happened.

and you said my identity was established. >> i think so. i think rape is -- it is goble. it is absolutely goble. it is a sickness that is -- i think is everywhere. it's in our military. you think about what is going on -- what happened with this poor woman in india with the crime getting on a bus with a friend and ends up dead -- >> stephanie: i was just going to say i have a friend making a film in india right now, and i read statistic that a woman is raped something like every ten minutes in india. >> it's crazy. and there are a lot of statistics in the video for stupidville, and it really blows your mind. the -- one of them is that 54% of people that are raped never report it. i was one of those. because you are so afraid that that person will come back. it really -- there's just -- the violence that people -- i don't

necessarily know that they get how deep that is and how scary that is. >> stephanie: and tracy you speak with such empathy about this young girl. look at this age of social media now. she doesn't even know what happened until the next morning when he is saw texts and photos on facebook and twitter. can you imagine? >> i can't imagine. vap a horrible horrible thank that happens, but when it happens to a child it is even worse, because they don't know what to do with it. and there's that deep level of shame, and to have her picture plastered everywhere. when i heard this happen i kept thinking where are the parents? it's just -- the fact that they took her party to party, and there were all of these people that could have intervened at anytime, and no one did. and interestingly enough that's why the course of my

song -- it's a fire drill. because you are told to scream fire not to scream rape because if you scream fire they may help you, and if you scream rape they turn the other way. >> stephanie: yeah what happened to a society where you go there is somebody that is incapacitated let's help her. you described they carried her from party to party like a pig. >> yeah, it engaged me. it brought tears to my eyes and i thought my god, if that were my daughter. if we don't start talking to my kids and tell them we have to empower our daughters and teach our sons that if for no reason this is wrong -- guess what, you

are not going to get to play football anymore. if they are no moral compass, they can't understand that it's not okay to hurt other people. you don't want to ruin your life. i remember when the boys were crying, and people were like these poor poor boys and i just thought are you kidding me? they are crying because they got caught. i didn't cry for them. i just thought -- and now with the one boy's lawyer -- the idiot that was on piers trying to slut chain me because he had nothing better to say with him getting up there saying his frontal lobe wasn't fully formed, and you are right, but at 5 years old,sy teach my son that you shouldn't throw sand because it could hurt somebody. they should know that it is a bad idea to urinate on somebody,

or leave them passed out in a car, and this is not a good thing. >> stephanie: traci is there something different about stubenville -- one of the most stunning things about your story, was when you told your mother, she said i was too. >> well, it's a dead town. there's -- there's nothing -- you know, people are mostly out of work it's very poverty stricken the only thing they really have is football. it's very macho sport. you don't hear about the chess club raping girls. there's a certain kind of aggression that comes with that -- >> stephanie: right. and we were talk about that how we glorify football in this country. >> professional football

players, it's your job to hurt people. >> stephanie: traci, it's jacki, i think you can speak specifically to this too. i think the nature of porn gnawingfy now because it is so prevalent, and i think it has become increasingly degrading to women, that it has shaped the way young men think about women. do you think that has changed or the accessibility of porn gnawingfy on the internet has made it more acceptable for young men to behave this way? >> i do think so. because this is the first generation that is growing up with webcams and the access to the internet, and all of that and what does it do to their mines. i can't help but think where pornography has gone today. we're not talking about love

vignettes here we're talking about gang rape being depicted and women being completely degraded, so if you are a child and you are growing up with this, and you are watching it in your bedroom, and the woman in the bedroom is saying no jno, no, but she really means yes, yes, yes is there maybe some -- it's part of the game you really want it? i don't know. it seems like that doesn't help the case. i think that the best thing that we can do as conscious human beings, if you feel like me that it does influence it then don't buy it. if there was no market for it then they wouldn't be making it anymore. >> stephanie: speaking of happy endings, my favorite thing i read is you have tomcome to terms with your past and married a wonderful man and gave birth to

a beautiful baby boy. that made me cry. and thank you for speaking out on this, and lot letting anybody slut shame any of us anymore. >> thank you.
